Entering Text using the Main Keypad
It is easier to enter text (for Cue Labels, etc. ) using the QWERTY
keyboard. However, if you do not have a keyboard connected or available,
Ventura allows text to be entered in text fields using the Main Keypad.
 Position the cursor at the start of the text field using the cursor
buttons.
 Then, rotate the select wheel to step through the available
characters; a full upper and lower case alphabet is provided
together with numerals 0 to 9 and various symbols.
 When the required character is displayed, press the cursor >
button to move the cursor to the next position.
 Repeat the last two instructions to enter the rest of the field.
To enter a ‘space’, simply move the cursor without selecting a
character.
To edit a character, position the cursor on the character then rotate
the select wheel to alter the character as required.
